So Excited, I Didn’t Learn to Use the Brakes

Christina Sinnette - Fresno, CA

Ah, my first bike was a hand me down from my brother. I was so excited about it, I didn't bother to learn how to use the brakes. I broke my arm but kept on pedaling. I still ride (have a couple of metric centuries under my belt) with my husband and 2 year old (who has her own balance bike). Bikes have been transportation, pleasure and a means of bonding.
